    I choose to try not to pirate, and thus this kinda thing absolutely pisses me off because this is so disingenuous, because I dig into the nitty gritty of how to do all this stuff legit.

    Randomizers alone make Nintendo games in particular so much more alive, and all but require the use of ripping software and quite often emulators.
    These emulators can make even current titles look even more beautiful and play more smoothly than their native platform, too.

    Yeah, people are going to pirate using this stuff, but its wrong to treating the tools themselves as being inherently bad. They are quite often used by people who care very much about these games, and do give fair financial support to Nintendo.

      Not to mention archival purposes for games that will be lost to time if not preserved.

        Nintendo would rather want games to not be preserved so people can shell out some money to play a remaster on the next gen or 2.
